Museu do Ciclismo

Reviewed By 805beckyk - St. Albans, United Kingdom

We spotted this when closed but noted the weekend opening hours and made a plan to return. Thoughtfully and lovingly curated by fanatics of cycling, we really enjoyed the exhibition on the first floor of he museum which overlooks the park of Caldas. Some of our family are cycling enthusiasts but most of us aren’t and yet we all enjoyed its great collection of memorabilia, posters, life stories and medals/awards as well as original bikes. As the non-cycling enthusiast, my favourite was a Hanseatic trike for grown ups!!

Museu Do Vinho De Alcobaca

The National Wine Museum occupies the old winery that was built in 1896 by Jose Eduardo Raposo Magalhaes to develop wine production in the region. A distinguished native of Alcobaca, he, more than anyone, was responsible for the progresso and reputation achieved by wine-growing in the town. He used the latest technology to build his winery and we can still see it today.

On the surface it may not be impressive, but the substance of its collection of wine production equipment, infrastucture, artifacts and memorabilia is absolutely astonishing. The guided tour was entertaining and informative - a great learning experience for wine enthusiasts and wine professionals alike.
